lRArHER.A NOVEL CASE.

RATHER A NOVEL CASE.
The Superior Court was yesterday
engaged in a case, the principle o.
which is well known to the Law. but
the practice of which is of rare APP
plication. It is qua tam action
brought to recover the penalties
fixed by the law for violation Of the
statute enacted for the protection oi
fish in certain waters in Henderson
and. Transylvania counties. The
statute is now obsolete, but the
cause OF, action enured before repeal
The case was removed from Hen
derson county to Buncombe. The
action was brought by Lambert
against Pinner, for the unlaw-
fll use OF a seine in the French
Broad river in Henderson county.
The penalty of such violation is ten
dollars a day for every day the OBJ
struction or unlawful use of net or
seine Is continued. 0ne-haH Of the
penalty goes. to the informer, the
other to the treasury Of the c9unty
in " hich the cause of action ac-
c u,d The. plainhff or prosecutor
alleges a Misunderstanding through
one hundred and eighty days; the
penalty is therefore $500. OF
course. the case is stubbornly con-
tested. by counsel. Messrs. II. B.
Carter and Sondley appear for Lam
bert, and Messrs. Jones and Shu-
ford for Pinner.

Turner's RESTAURANT.

Some time last summer a little
ten cent counter eating house was
opened in small room in the HUI. h
Johnston building. Turner was then
unknown to fame and ten cent
charge suggested something of
squalor and meanne5s. After a
while, from the convenience of the
locality, Customers tool courage
and went in. Then the perfect
neatness that ruled, the excellence
of the cooking and variety of the
fare, as well as the promptness of
response to,.orders, gave the house a
favorable publicity. The house be-
gan to grow; AMI from ten cent
lunch counter, Tuners has .devel.
oped into, a first class restaurant;
not expanded, as we could wish, in
to the dimensions demanded by its
patronage, but still enlarged com.
fortably. WEo can imagine the rapid
development from a ten cent lunch
to meal at So. a plate 2. Yet this
is common experience. for wealthy
visitors find this a favorite resort,
and are lavish in their .ex pressions
of satisfaction. Parties of ladies and
gentlemen daily or nightly regale
themselves with Turner's well pre-
pared delicacies and such is the
assured character of the house, Il al
ladies do not hesitate to go there
alone. This we regard as the great
est triumph; it is the triumph of
courtesy and decorum as it is of
culinary skill.
But Turner ought to haye larger
field for display He is a ( erma-
nent citizen. Cannot some capital
list bull and fit up for him a first
class restaurant, such one as the
rapid. progress of Ash. vile makes
proper and necessary?

DELAY IN MEXICAN PENSIONS.

DELAY IN MEXICAN PENSIONS.
The Knoxville Tribune gives the
following information Of interest to
Mexican Pensioners
"The Mexican war survivors and
widows ofsoldiers in that war, who
have been felicitating themselves on
the apparent speedy realization o1
their long deferred hopes of pen
sion, will he somewhat chagrined to
learn that no definite period can
now be fixed when their cases will
receive attention by the pension
Office. It is estimated those afec.N
ed by the provisions ofthe Mexican
pension bill are about $4,000, and
if Mr.. Randall had allowed the in-
crease of the clerical force in the
pension office which was asked for,
it was believed that these cases
could all have been heard and de-
termined in three or four months
Now it cannot be done for year to
come, even if the Fiftieth Congress
is permitted by Mr.. Randall to make
the appropriation asked of the
Forty-ninth Congress. Ii is held
at the pension offices that it will be
simply impossible to take up the
Mexican, pension. cases until add.
tionaf force is given the Office, for
the accumulation of existing busiS
ness is tremendous, and as matter
of justice it must all be disposed of
before a new set of cases is taken up.
Under the law the appropriation for
the payment of Mexican pensions,
Sc, 500, 600 in all, is only available
until June 80, 1888. After that time
any portion remaining unexpended
must be covered back into the treas
ury. The strong possibility is, there
fore, that the most of it will go back ,
and the bulk of the Mexican pen
sioners will have to trust to the
chances OF getting another appro
priation from Congress"

The DRuMmERs' TAX.

The commercial travellers are on
the wing as usual; and it is well for
them to understand in the words OF
the Feeos- Observer that 'tbe laws OF
North Carolina, passed by our State
Legislature, will be enforced in
North Carolina as long as it is pos
sible to enforce them" This ex-
preston is evidently based upon
the determination of the State au-
thorities to recognize the laws of
North Carolina as affecting its sov-
ereign rights as paramount until
overridden by the Supreme Court of
the United States, whose decision
must be made on cases made up
from this State. The result of such
test case may be confidently antici-
pated; but sufficient for the day is
the evil thereof" and in the mean
time the drunmers will step to
the Captains Office and settle as they
have been used to do.

The STATE GuApD-THE LAPsE1

N@A<AAH MAJ A1AICEO
QUoTA.
The persistent energy of Adjutant.
General Jones has secured to the
military of North Carolina and the
Southern States an amount of mon-
ey appropriated ct former period
by the general government, but un.
claimed, or at least unpaid. And
being uncalled for, it was at length
covered into the Treasury, and there
remained until lecently unearthed.
Il ia really matter of vast import
anee toa1a and to the South. Prac.
tically, there is no militia system
in the South. The military spirit
and military organization have been
relegated to tie State Guard and
in this State indifference, amounts
ing to hostility in some quarters,
has seriously crippled its move
ments and efficiency. Appropria-
tions from the State treasury are
wrung from reluctant legislation /;
and while they are made, they fall
short of the aims that ought to be
attained.
We nesd not here argue as to the
essential importance of the State
Guard. Itis only necessary to say
that it is important in its relation to
domestic peace and quiet, and quite
as much so in its relation to the con-
dition of the country at large, which
may not expect through all time to
avoid its liabilities to external war.
1t is of sufficient importance that
the Guard be maintained in effect
i've condition. This cannot be done
without money. Of this the State
does not appropriate enough.
Therefore, the lapsed quota comes
jim opportunely.
The following are the quotas for
the following States:
Alabama 81, ,196 81
Flor1da.:.- 1914 SO
North Carolina. 2S.62o %

Gen. Jones has followed up the
bill with perseverance and intelli-
gence. 1t is mainly due to his ex.
'ertions, his representations, his in.
tercourse and interviews with high
authorities in Washington, the ins-
terest. he commanded with our
members of Congress, that the bill
settling the matter is now law
He should lot be for sotten byrthe
Guard nor by the State. nc Z IN.
The first bill was introduced into
Congress under Gov. Jarvis admin
istration. 1t passed the House Feb.
5, 1887, and the Serate at 5 O'Clock

and it received the signature of
